Patients all over the country want to know about CBD strains, edibles and concentrates. They have heard the extensive news about the benefits of CBD for those with epilepsy or in helping to treat autism. Many patients have found that the minimal mental effects associated with high CBD medicines help squash anxiety, while the physical effects relieve pain quicker than many pharmaceuticals. Dispensaries are trying to keep up with the high demand, and providers are coming out with more powerful CBD products than we have ever seen before.
PCC is striving to carry as many high CBD strain and edible options as possible on our shelf. One of the newest arrivals on our shelf is the provider POPNaturals (Premium Oil Products). They use carbon dioxide to create a concentrated hash oil that is smokeable, vaporizable, edible and topical. Alongside the standard high-THC varieties, they provide a Blue Dream/Cannatonic blend that has an approximate ratio of 2:1 THC to CBD. Even more exciting, they have an oil extracted from Cannatonic that is 1:1 THC to CBD, as well as a “Super CBD” oil, extracted from purely AC/DC buds. The super CBD oil has results on SC Labs showing 58% CBD and 9% THC, by far one of the highest concentration of CBD medicine we have ever carried.
The POPNaturals product is packaged in a syringe, which allows easy filling of a vapor pen, a gel-cap, or applying topically to a small area. Because of its high concentration, only a very small amount needs to be used. When vaporizing, the oil has an immediate effect, and is remarkably smooth and easy to inhale, with a flavor somewhat like mild spearmint. Unlike some pre-filled cartridges and hash oils, this product is solvent free. No butane, alcohol, glycol, or glycerin. For those trying to avoid vaporizing solvent based extracts, the carbon dioxide process seems to produce an oil that is much easier to inhale. The oil is viscous enough to be applied anywhere but not sticky like shatter or waxes can be.
The Super CBD oil is definitely one of the most interesting medicines we have ever had at PCC. The feeling of high potency CBD medicine is not like the traditional effects of cannabis. After a few inhales there is a marked sense of calm that sets in, similar to the feeling of an indica but without the heaviness or sedation. Many patients report the feeling of looseness in the body combined with unexpected clarity of the mind. For those who don’t smoke, the POPNaturals oils can be taken orally, either directly or portioned in gelcaps. Both the high and super CBD varieties can be used as easily as high CBD edibles or the full extract cannabis oil, but without all the added sugars, or in the case of the full extract, the thick tar-like consistency.
Because the demand is so great for high CBD medicine, it is not easy to keep this medicine on our shelves. Check our online menu to see what we have, and next time you are at PCC, ask us for more info about POPNaturals and other high CBD products.
